Description:
What is this mod?

Psionic Monk is a melee-focused custom class that fights with a Combat Gauntlet (Primary) instead of firearms, and uses a Psi Amp (Secondary) to support and enhance that style of combat.
It uses a newly created primary weapon called the “Combat Gauntlet,” built on top of iridar’s excellent [WOTC] Unarmed Weapons framework. By combining an “unarmed combat” concept with psionic skills, the class is designed to close in, suppress enemies, endure pressure, and finish the fight at point-blank range.

About the Class

This class is designed around the following equipment setup:

  • Primary Weapon: Combat Gauntlet (based on Unarmed Weapons)
  • Secondary Weapon: Psi Amp
  • Armor: Standard soldier armor

Overall, Psionic Monk is a hit-and-run melee specialist: establish position in close-quarters, overwhelm targets with counters and suppression-like control, then disengage quickly.

Important Notes
  • Balance: This class may feel somewhat strong in vanilla WOTC. You can adjust values in XcomGrapple.ini under the Config folder.
  • I tested and reviewed as much as possible, but unintended bugs may still exist. If you find any issues, please report them.
